2 April, 1939Dear Mr. Hill, The majority of the Lapithos cases is in Limassol waiting for an American Export boat, due to sail for America this week. Megaw had to have a list of the contents of each case in order to issue a shipping permit. I had a list for the cases packed by me, and made one for those packed by John Young, from the labels. Two of his cases I could not find when making the list (they appeared later), so they and some packed by Virginia are not in this shipment.

[Perhaps I had better hold them for you here.I removed the labels, according to instructions, and am sending them to you under separate cover.] The numbers are painted on the cases in green (the only colour available at the moment).

Work is going well. I have a staff of fifty men, including Christo and the guards.
